About this property

NEW Build-Lake Champlain Waterfront: Year-round, Kayaks, Firepit, Sunsets, W/D

This loft-style lake house is located on a shale bluff on Hog Island in Swanton, Vermont and boasts absolutely phenomenal sunsets. It is designed for a relaxing, couples or single family vacation in a nature rich environment.

Open year-round, the house has a fireplace (propane), fire pit on the beach, great swimming water, 2 kayaks/lifejackets/paddles, Wifi (XFINITY Gig), washer/dryer, and air conditioning. It has hot water baseboard heating for year-round warmth.

The house is a new build with a queen-sized master bedroom, full bath, and a loft with two twin beds.

The kitchen has a large refrigerator, stove, microwave, and a dual function keurig (k-cup or drip).

The living room has a 75 inch SMART TV, two barrel chairs that swivel 360 degrees, loveseat with two reclining seats.

The waterfront deck has a grill, dining table and umbrella, and an outdoor sofa and coffee table.

Linens/towels (beach and bath)/plates (regular and paper)/glasses/coffee cups/Keurig (k-cups/drip dual function)/ground coffee/grill/ propane all included.

It's a great, relaxing location to take a swim or launch on a kayak site seeing cruise along the beautiful shoreline.

There is no dock (predominantly west winds) but the front yard offers plenty of space to park a boat and trailer.

There are two public boat launches nearby (West Swanton Boat Access .2 miles and Tabor Point Boat Ramp 4.2 miles).

In addition, the house is just steps from Hog Island Market where fishing equipment, bait, fishing license, ice, beer, wine, and groceries are all available.

Campbell's Bay Campground (~5mi) is also close by for Pontoon, Motor Boat, or Canoe rentals.

West Swanton Orchard (1mi) is a great stop for apples, soft ice cream and souvenirs.

Green Mountain Stables is directly across the road where visitors can watch the horses training or take riding lessons, and Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is also just one mile away.

The house is centrally located within the best Pike, Bass and Walleye fishing grounds on the lake!

Beautiful Home
The house was clean and comfortable- photos are very accurate. It's a quiet location, though easy to get to anywhere you'd like to visit. The highlight is the view and sound of the lake which is amazing.

Perfect lakeside cottage
My partner and I recently stayed here for the total solar eclipse. It was the perfect viewing spot - the lake is so peaceful and I loved that you can go right down to the beach from the deck. We got some incredible sunset views through the huge east-facing windows. Everything was super clean and well stocked -- there were enough dishes, pots, and pans to cook and bake, and the white noise machine was a big plus (we slept great!). We had a wonderful vacation here and would definitely stay again.

Wonderful weekend!
This was a great place for a couple’s weekend! The cottage is the perfect size for 2 with everything we needed to cook, stay cozy, and relax. Josie was communicative and took care to make sure the fire pit was stocked and ready when I requested it, even though it had still been in storage for the winter. Check in and out were easy and instructions in the cottage were easy to follow. Thanks for the wonderful weekend!

The home, neighbors, and people of Vermont were nothing short of welcoming. Josie was a treat to work with. I highly recommend staying here when visiting the area.

Lovely sunsets
It was a lovely place to stay and we enjoyed kayaking, biking and hiking the nearby wildlife park. Josie thought of everything and we really enjoyed a quite and peaceful long weekend. I would recommend it for a couple but it’s a pretty small place for kids
